핵폭발 등에서 방출되는 과도펄스(Transient pulse) 형태의 방사선이 반도체 소자에 조사되면 소자 내부에서는 짧은 시간에 다량의 전하가 생성된다. 이 전하들이 일정방향으로 증폭된 광전류가 소자의 고장과 오동작을 유발하거나 극단적으로 소진(Burn out)되는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 과도방사선 펄스가 입사하였을 때 pMOSFET 소자 내에 생성되는 전자 정공 쌍(EHP)으로 인해 형성되는 광전류가 소자의 방사선 피해로 나타나는 과정 및 영향을 연구하기 위해 반도체 공정 시뮬레이터를 이용해 전하들의 거동과 광전류 크기를 시뮬레이션하고, 전자가속기에서 실측시험을 병행하였다. 가속기 주변의 전자장을 인한 큰 잡음으로부터 가속기 펄스신호에 의해 pMOSFET에서 발생된 소신호의 광전류를 측정하기 위해서 정밀 신호처리 회로를 구성하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실측시험에서의 결과 비교/분석에서 두 광전류 파형은 유사한 형태를 확인할 수 있었다.

There are various methods to count the number of repetitive motions such as jump rope. Most of the methods use features extracted from the time-varying waves of acceleration or angular velocity, which is the main feature in the count of rotations in jump rope. However, there exist several variables and it is not easy to find the count with a single sensor. For example, accelerometer is susceptible to noise and vibration, and the angular velocity may cause a drift phenomenon, which is the main cause of the inaccurate count of jump rope rotation. In this paper, complementary filter is used to consider two sensors simultaneously and complement each other, which results in more accurate count in jump rope rotation. The proposed method can count the exact number of jump rope rotation compared to other existing methods only using one sensor value, which is confirmed through experimental results.

This research differentiate the technique of Jungkwon-jirugi, one of the basic movements of Taekwondo, into two movements stop-jirugi and push-jirugi and gives analysis of the impulse, acceleration and velocity in the point of motor control. For this, we tried graphic analysis using an acceleration sensor and high speed camera which was made from USA in 2005 and took pictures at 250 frames per second. We reached the following conclusions. First, the acceleration wave of push-jirugi was a period longer than stop-jirugi, meaning that the push-jirugi motion asserts force for a longer time. Second, the acceleration and velocity graph shows that the highest velocity occurs on the point when the acceleration begins to decrease right after reaching its maximum. Third, according to the image analysis using the high speed camera, we could find out that the shoulder is pushed a little even in the stop-jirugi motion.

This paper describes the realization of ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system using wearable pulse oximeter based on a wireless sensor network. In order to obtain information of oxygen saturation from a patient, a small size and low power consumption wearable pulse oximeter was designed. Information of oxygen saturation collected by wireless sensor node was transmitted wirelessly to a base-station for storage and display purposes via wireless sensor network. Wireless sensor nodes were programmed by TinyOS application to perform data acquisition and transmission. Lab VIEW server program was designed to monitor information of oxygen saturation and process the measured PPG (photo plethysmogram) signals to APG(Accelerated plethysmogram) signals by appling second order derivatives. PPG signals are simple and cost effective technique to measure blood volume change.

Jump rope has two motions. It starts as hand motion and ends as jump motion. Therefore, two motions should be considered together to detect rotations accurately. But previous researches only consider one of the two motions as in push-up, sit-up, lift dumbbells etc, which results in inaccurate detection of rotations. In this paper, detection of rotation in jump rope using two motions through 6-axis accelerometer gyro sensor is proposed. Jump motion is detected using accelerometer sensor and hand motion is detected using gyro sensor. Also start point and end point of jump rope is detected using magnitude and standard deviation of accelerometer and gyro sensor values. The count of rotation is detected using y-axis of gyro sensor value. Y-axis of gyro sensor value indicate hand motion of jump rope motion. The usefulness of the proposed method is confirmed through experimental results.

This paper presents a smartphone-attachable vascular compliance monitoring module. The proposed sensor module measures photoplethysmogram (PPG) and reconstructs an accelerated PPG waveform. The feature points are extracted from the accelerated PPG waves, and vascular compliance is estimated using these extracted features. The module is powered via the smartphone's USB terminal and transmits the acquired waveforms along with vascular compliance values through Bluetooth. The transmitted waveforms and vascular compliance value are displayed through the smartphone application. This work proposes an assessment method for consistency of PPG instrumentation, and it was implemented in a processor of sensor module. The proposed sensor module can be easily attached to smartphone that does not support PPG instrumentation, providing simple measurment and numerical analysis of vascular compliance. To verify the performance of the implemented sensor module, we acquired vascular compliance and pulse pressure data from 29 subjects. Pulse pressure, which serves as a representative indicator of vascular compliance, was obtained using a commercial blood pressure monitor. The analysis results showed that the Pearson coefficient between vascular compliance and pulse pressure was 0.778, confirming a relatively high correlation between two metrics.

In this study, the model test of a reservoir was performed through a dynamic analysis method by using the data obtained from seismometers. Besides, we analyzed the behavior of the seismic acceleration amplification by reservoir height. To test the model, the data measured by the seismometers were applied at the foundation of the reservoir as input data, and the results from the analysis were compared with the data measured at the dam crest. The analysis results manifest that the peak values and the trend of the seismic wave obtained from the numerical analysis are in good agreement with the measured data. Also, the acceleration amplification ratio was proportional to the reservoir height and the magnitude of the earthquake. Through this study, the dynamic analysis method, which is based on the cyclic elastoplastic constitutive equation, can be considered as an appropriate technique to analyse the seismic behavior by the application of the data obtained from the seismometers installed in the reservoir. Also, the applicability of the seismometers can be enhanced through this technique in the future.

The present paper is a study on the tracking characteristics depending on accelerated degradation of PVC insulation material. In order to insulation degradation of PVC insulation material, the Arrhenius equation, a type of accelerated degradation test formula, was used to conduct accelerated degradation experiments with experiment samples prepared at the following age equivalents: 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 years. Afterwards, a tracking experiment was conducted on the accelerated experiment samples as part of the KS C IEC 60112 criteria. When measuring the PVC tracking features according to the accelerated aging, the results showed that when 0.1% of ammonium chloride was added to the PVC insulating material, but no tracking occurred. However, depending on the age equivalent, The results of analyzing the current waveform and voltage waveform of the tracking propagation process showed the age equivalent from 0 years to 40 years displayed a break down in insulation resistance and even the BDB(before dielectric breakdown) sections did not maintain the same functionality of the original material. Based on a criterion of an age equivalent of 0 years, material with an age equivalent of 10 years posed a 1.4 times greater risk, material with an age equivalent of 20 years posed a 2 times greater risk, material with an age equivalent of 30 years posed a 4.6 times greater risk, and material with an age equivalent of 40 years posed a 7 times greater risk.
